PRO BONO LEADERSHIP HONOREES

The following recipients of the 2020 Pro Bono Leadership Awards

were selected for diverse reasons—devoting long hours of

service or taking on multiple cases, stepping up for a particularly

challenging case, employing innovative legal strategies, or going

above and beyond in a notable way. We are proud to salute

each of these attorneys and their firms for making life-changing

contributions to the wellbeing of children in our local community.

VINCENT BARREDO focuses his practice on litigating complex matters before federal and state

courts, including securities class actions and derivative

litigation. He also has experience representing and

counseling technology companies and their directors,

audit committees and officers in internal investigations

and before government agencies in matters involving

the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), accounting violations, securities

violations and whistleblower claims. Vincent has represented Fortune 100

companies and their directors and officers, in connection with a wide

variety of issues including alleged accounting fraud and bribery, alleged

misrepresentation to investors, mergers and acquisitions transactions,

contract disputes, activist investors and disclosures. His active pro bono

practice includes work in immigration court for Lawyers’ Committee for Civil

Rights, assisting guardianship applicants for Legal Services for Children and

representing criminal defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Northern

District of California through the Criminal Justice Act panel.

TALY JOLISH began her legal career in 1998 as a litigation associate at the firm of Heller Ehrman in San

Francisco. In 2005, she transitioned to the Office of

Regional Counsel at the Environmental Protection Agency,

where she focused on Superfund cleanup sites. She left

EPA in 2018 and has since spent her time on volunteer

and pro bono work.

JAMIE KNAUER is an associate in Reed Smith LLP’s complex litigation practice in San Francisco. Jamie’s

practice focuses on commercial litigation in a variety

of sectors, including business disputes, land use issues,

products liability, and financial services. Jamie also

provides regulatory guidance to companies in the health

care and environmental fields to ensure compliance with complex federal

and state statutory frameworks. Jamie has dedicated significant time to

Reed Smith’s pro bono efforts, assisting indigent clients in a variety of fields

including immigration law, veteran’s appeals, school expulsion hearings, and

more. Before law school, Jamie performed social work as an AmeriCorps

member in Boston for LIFT and served low-income students as a program

manager for City Year.

ELIZABETH MATTHEWS is an associate at Vinson & Elkins LLP and part of the firm’s complex commercial

litigation practice group. She earned her J.D. from

UCLA School of Law in May 2019 and is enjoying an

active start to her career. So far she has contributed to

business litigation matters, government investigations,

and a variety of pro bono projects. A former English teacher in Jinmen, Taiwan,

Elizabeth is excited to continue working with LSC, particularly in the education

rights context. She is a member of the Asian American Bar Association, Bar

Association of San Francisco, and she is eager to integrate into the Bay Area

legal community.

JULIANNA RIVERA MAUL’s Oakland-based law firm, The Law Office of Julianna Rivera, helps immigrant families

and youth navigate California state and federal immigration

legal systems. Her firm focuses on Special Immigrant

Juvenile Status cases and she has practiced extensively in

California state courts, including San Francisco, Alameda,

Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Joaquin, Sonoma,

Yolo, Placer, and Solano counties. Before opening her practice, Julianna was an

associate at a civil litigation firm in Oakland. She is licensed to practice law in

both California and Michigan and previously worked as a research attorney for

the Michigan Court of Appeals where she received a certificate of recognition for

her distinguished service. Julianna graduated from Wayne State University and

Wayne State Law School in Detroit, Michigan. She now lives in San Rafael with

her husband Brian, their son George, and their cat Charlemagne Pickles.
